Hve you heard of GDPR? USB-C mandate? Right to repair?
Right to repair? Repair what? Surely not a new iphone.
Do you seriously think that meta cares for your personal data if youre European? No? Then how come they are allowed to operate?
The EU fined Meta multiple billions. You can always do more, but it's a start
How is that a start if their services are still profitable and poisonous to every mind exposed to them?
dont let perfection stop progress
And the lawsuits keep pouring in.
The right to repair laws will take effect in (at the latest) July 30 2026.
Manufactures have until then to decide what to do. Maybe Apple will just straight pull out of EU or comply by then.
It's a painfully slow process but better than not even trying like all other states on this planet.
